A Polish mum is suing an Egyptian hotel after claiming her daughter got pregnant using their mixed swimming pool.

The bizarre claim surfaced as Magdalena Kwiatkowska demanded compensation after her 13-year-old daughter came back from the family holiday expecting a baby.

Tourist authorities in Warsaw confirmed they had received the complaint which states that the girl conceived because of stray sperm in the pool.
"The mother is adamant that her daughter didn't meet any boys while she was there and is determined to go ahead with the case," said one travel industry source.

Often I lie wide awake, thinking of things I could make.
But I don’t seem to have the parts to build them.
I am so scared of what will kill me in the end, for I am not prepared.
I hope I will get the chance to be someone, to be human.

I believe my son has a girlfriend, because she left a dirty magazine with men in it under his bed. My son is only 16 and I really don't think he's ready to date yet. What's worse is that he's sneaking some girl to his room behind my back. I need help, God! I want my son to stop being so secretive!

So this mother is either really ignorant in thinking that there is absolutely zero risk in swimming in a pool (as the hotel can't constantly monitor exactly what's in the water), or she can't accept that fact that her daughter had sex. One of those two: choose.

i think maybe the daughter should just fess up before embarrassing her whole family.

it's a bit ridiculous.

Before? I think there's already been quite the damage done already in the embarrassing department.

Apparently it actually is possible to get pregnant without having sex, but not like that. A teacher I had in grade 7 claims that her friend got pregnant because she was making out and the guy ejaculated on her leg. She also said if you were in a hot tub at the right temperature, but that would be so unlikely I doubt it's ever happened.

Amazing. Some of the things I read on answers are amazing, particularly ones written by parents. The most worrying thing I have seen is one forum dedicated to internet filters (yes, I know...) where there was a thread dedicated to things parents have caught their kids watching... wtf? I know we have fewer rights, but that's just plain disrespect!

In case anyone is wondering... This is pretty much impossible. A guy ejaculates millions of sperm at a time inside a woman, and many of them die off pretty quickly. In a pool, the concentration would be so diluted, AND so many would die from chemicals in the pool... The odds are absolutely astronomical. We're talking obscene odds here. I'd compare the odds to winning the lottery twice in a row.

This mother needs a reality check. The idea she would hold a lawsuit over this is enough to convince me that parents are willing to do anything to reject the idea that their kids are having sex.

And now I'm just a-waitin' for someone to send this in to MythBusters...
